The “Drone Mass” was described by its composer, the late Jóhann Jóhannsson, as “a contemporary oratorio”. Written for voices, string quartet and electronics, it was commissioned and premiered by the American Contemporary Music Ensemble, aka ACME, who toured and recorded with Jóhannsson for almost ten years.

“Drone Mass” is an extraordinary, mysterious accomplishment which at times bears comparison with the meditative minimalism of composers such as Arvo Pärt or Henryk Górecki. Beginning with strings and voices, but slowly integrating Jóhannsson’s electronic techniques into its landscape, the work represents what the Icelandic composer called “a distillation of a lot of influences and obsessions”.

In 2019, ACME and the Grammy-winning vocal ensemble Theatre of Voices and Paul Hillier recorded “Drone Mass” for Deutsche Grammophon. The album was released on March 18, 2022.

English

„Drone Mass“ („Drone’i missa“, autori sõnastuses ka kaasaegne oratoorium) on hüpnootiline teos, mida võib tinglikult võrrelda Arvo Pärdi või Henryk Górecki meditatiivse minimalismiga. Vokaalansamblile, keelpillikvartetile ja elektroonikale kirjutatud teose tellis American Contemporary Music Ensemble, kes tegi Jóhann Jóhannssoniga lähedast koostööd pea kümme aastat.

Jóhannsson on kasutanud drone’i – nii akustilist kui elektroonset madalat bassinooti – teost läbiva muusikalise ankruna. Drone on kunstiline võte, mille teadlik eesmärk on monotoonsus, lähtumine ühest toonist või noodikordusest. Seda on kasutanud nii klassikaline minimalism kui ka elektrooniline muusika ning see on ambient’i üks alustalasid. Tänaseks on drone’i-võttest kujunenud omaette žanr, eelkõige elektroonilises muusikas ja nn mürakompositsioonides.

2019. aastal salvestasid ACME ja Grammyga pärjatud vokaalansambel Theatre of Voices ning Paul Hillier „Drone Mass’i“ Deutsche Grammophonile. Album ilmus 18. märtsil 2022.
